I like the look of our team tbf, Haji out wide is different and something which I reckon teams won’t expect. Also, having the pace of both Asante and EMC whilst still having the attacking passing and vision of Torp and Rudoni is great. I’ll go 2-0 today even though we rarely beat defensive teams.

We’ve seen this episode before.

1-0 Derby from an absolute gift then

Haji is up front I reckon. Lampard has used BTA wide far more than Haji

A very unbalanced front three.
Our productivity from the right will be severely limited without Tats.
Not looking forward to watching BTA trying to cross the ball!!!

We really need someone to come in for the forward line.

He put a great cross in for Simms on Tuesday. Admittedly a rarity bit still

 

[ptr]

He will piss me off the most of the game but BTA will score today.

 

[Liquid Gold]

No Saka is a worry. Who else will turn the left back 3 times so the CBs can get back into position?

Why? MvE isnt a winger

Fast down the wing, can cross a ball. If we kept KKH and MVE after the windows closed we will have to find a way to play them both and KKH is better defensively

I think better will be more effective on the right side. We will have decent pace going forward. I hope Torp and Rudoni test the keeper from distance. We seem shy of doing this sometimes.

It will be a disaster if we end up playing two RB's and one at RW after the window

pure cope

It’s either that or KKH playing LB but we can’t have KKH on the bench, we will have to find a way

We cant just shoehorn someone in out of position.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Derby set up to hit us on the counter then sit back and defend for their lives.

After this worked for them last season I think you're right. Hopefully are performance will not be as insipid as last season!

Feel sorry for Da Silva

It will be a disaster if they play together at any point . Two overlapping fullbacks getting in each others way

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Very excited to see Raphael today, star boy

So we're playing a right back at right wing and a right back at left back ?
Genius

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Simms was not that good in the week. It is a misconception some are trying to overcompensate on.

Yes and no. Looked slightly sharper and more decisive and the ones he missed were not a great watch. However with strikers it's about momentum and I fear Lampards preference for BTA is not going to help us much today. Hope I'm wrong. Can see a cagey 0-0 which away is fine.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Yeah I’d agree, although looks like Saka has a knock so only other option was brau

Can you not read? Might be worth double checking before firing off a response bro

It’s either playing them as RB and RW or playing them as RB and LB

KKH has played numerous games as a LB

What do you think BTA will do there?

 

[robbiethemole]

Those optics look shit........................score a goal, get dropped to the bench!!!!! Our highest (and only ) goalscorer don't even get a start, Frank must really have a downer on Simms, Robins did the same sort of thing iirc why do we shackle ourselves like this all the time, just go and WIN a game going for it ffs

I'm still haunted by that 0-0 at a Bolton team with an average age of 15

Which is what he just said - can't YOU read?

 

[quinn1971]

Asante on the right ?

 

[covcity4life]

Hope saka isn't out for long but he isn't the best in away games sometimes.

On paper it's a very exciting line up so surprised to see posts about how we need more attackers

Interested to see how we line up

Take a draw!

2-0 City win

Wright to get at least one

KKH’s stats for Preston… knobhead

We have BTA Rw And you don’t think we need more attackers?

Score early and cruise to a 3-0 win
